§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate, in view of the fact that Mr. Millar, the Local Government. Board s Inspecting Officer under the Public Health Act, spent four days in the Island of Lewis in the month of May last, will the Secretary for Scotland state what townships in the parishes of Stornoway, Barvas, Lochs, and Uig were visited by this officer; has he made any report on the sanitary condition of those parishes; and, if not, will he be required to state why the conditions of The Public Health (Scotland) Act, 1897, are not enforced.
MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAYMr. Millar's visit to the Lewis was primarily for Poor Law purposes. He, however, also made a report on sanitary matters which may be of assistance to the Board.
